Terms of use, the quick version[With help from Geograph Project's]

Lawyers, eh? Geograph Project's terms of use for the www.uk-genealogy.online website
can be boiled down to the following:

We'll do no evil-
we'll not sell your personal details to spammers or abuse the copyright on
your submissions.

We want you to do no evil to us. Don't spider or leech the site,
and be polite on the forums. Make sure you own the copyright on the images
you submit and check the accuracy of the information you supply and/or
choose to use.

If evil has been done,you
agree not to come after us with a pack of lawyers. We're just trying to
build something worthwhile.Contact
uswith your concerns.

Below is a somewhat lengthier expression of the above. Make a nice cup of tea,
put your feet up, and prepare to be riveted by a rollercoaster ride of legal
boilerplate...
